Ever seen one of those turrets?
They are bloody tiny. Now, imagine being stuck inside one of those for 8 hours at a time in temperatures well below zero. Oh, and your parachute is hanging on a hook INSIDE the aircraft because there is no room for it where you are.
Screw that! I take my hat off to them, because there's no way in hell I would have been able to stick that.
